Rug Ratz Racing- Slick Nick

Let’s have some fun with the mascot trend 🏁🏁

Funny it picked a dog for Slick Nick because he loves to say “I got the dog in me” 🐶🤣

You can try by going to chatGPT and enter:
Give my personality a mascot using what you know about me and the uploaded photo for my appearance, invent a funny cartoon mascot that represents my personality. Feature a cartoon version of me posing beside the mascot as if we are an iconic duo. The mascot can be an animal, creature, object, or completely imaginary character. Give it one small accessory or detail that connects it to me. Add its name and one short tagline explaining its energy. Keep everything else minimal. White background, clean composition, polished colorful cartoon artwork. Do not ask me what the mascot should be. You decide."

Ready to get behind the wheel after a couple weeks off 💪🏁

Back in 2020 where it all started

🏁 RACE DAY RECAP – DILLON MOTOR SPEEDWAY 9/7/26 🏁

Another FIRST in the books for Slick Nick Newsome and JLM Motorsports as a team! 💪🏁

We originally came to Dillon to run Chargers, but with only 3 Chargers showing up, we made the decision to jump into the YL division instead. We came all this way to race, and racing against a 26-car field sounded a whole lot better than racing in three!

Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn't exactly help us out. Our Sunday practice was rained out after only two rounds. Monday we were able to get one more practice round in before qualifying, but we were definitely heading into this one with limited track time.

Slick Nick qualified P23 out of 26 cars. We weren't too surprised considering we're still learning the track and didn't have a full set of new tires to throw at it. But one thing was already clear — Nick LOVES Dillon Motor Speedway! 🔥

Then it was time to race!
Unfortunately, lap 1, turn 1, the toe got knocked out on the car. Definitely not the way we wanted to start a race, especially with nearly the entire feature still ahead of us. But Nick kept digging! 💪
He stayed in it, avoided the big wrecks, made passes and continued learning lap after lap.
With about 4 laps remaining, the race went under a red flag. With absolutely nothing to lose and this entire trip being about learning, the team pulled Nick into the hot pit and went to work fixing the toe. 🔧
They got it fixed and had him back out before the field returned to green!
Nick said the car was MUCH better in those final four laps and we could definitely tell the difference from watching.
🏁 Started: P23
🏁 Finished: P16
⬆️ Gained 7 positions
🚗 Car came home in ONE PIECE!
For our first trip to Dillon, and racing with YL we'll take it!
Sometimes bringing the car home in one piece after a race like that is a WIN all by itself! 🙌

Another track checked off the list and another experience in the notebook for Slick Nick #31! 🏁🔥

Huge thanks to JLM Motorsports and everyone who continues to support Slick Nick! ❤️💛
